- The objective of the investigation was to find out the suitable location of the reinforcement on CBEMs at earliest age practicable for preventing early life failure. The reinforcement materials used was 'plastic cells' which were made from standard extruded polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sheet. The plastic cells were positioned at the middle height and close to the surface of the CBEMs samples. The samples were subjected to a dynamic cylindrical loading, where the number of dynamic load applied and the deformation were electronically recorded. Stress and strain distributions were analyzed using BISAR 3.0 software from Shell company. It was found that the suitable position of the reinforcement on CBEMs is on the upper side (close to the surface), which give significant prevention on deformation and cracks during early age.
